Afloat Songtext
von The Gospel Youth

I remember what it felt like to be saved
From all the hang-ups that I had when I was 16 years of age
Ten years on and I still haven′t found my place
To call my own, in bliss
Something I'll never replace

But I′ve never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don′t know where to begin
I just don′t know where to begin

I never said enough when it mattered most
This feline's got a hold onto my tongue
Her claws are buried deep, so far I′m paralyzed
Lose or win, sink or swim
Just keep me afloat


But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I′ve been breaking all my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don′t know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin

I'm a shell of who I once was, letting down the ones I love
I′m hiding from, and never talking to strangers
I know that we′ve all been hurt before
And the pain, it never heals
We pick ourselves up off the floor
And tell ourselves that we'll never do this again

But I′ve never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city′s what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don′t know where to begin
